In addition to everything else I'll be growing in my garden this spring, I'm going to grow sweetgrass and tobacco. Now I just need to find someone who is willing to go to San Bernadino and pick sage for me and work out some kind of trade.

I've always just picked the leaves off the plant. You might have to check with an herbal shop or something. I'm sure you have those places around there. I used to get it from this woman in Long beach who went to the San Bernadino mountains to pick it but we have since had a falling out and she won't even acknowledge my emails anymore so I need to start finding another source. You might be able to find someone around ther who picks it. I can pay for it or work out a trade of some sort.
